Where is Adam Emery?

 It appears that this dangerous, notoriously hair-triggered killer is alive and well and living in Italy although he was declared legally dead in 2004.

In 1993, Adam Emery disappeared just hours after being convicted of murdering 20-year-old Jason Bass in a road rage incident. (Emery was out on bail pending formal sentencing.) Police found his car abandoned on Newport Bridge. Less than a year later, his wife’s remains were found in Narragansett Bay. Some believe Adam and his wife jumped to their deaths from that bridge, but the FBI still considers Emery one of America’s most wanted criminals.

On November 10, 1993, he was convicted of second-degree murder in the death of a twenty-year-old man in a road rage incident in Rhode Island. Before formal sentencing, Emery disappeared from the Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge just hours after being released on bail.

 From what police could stitch together, on the night of August 31, 1990, Adam Emery's 1985 Ford Thunderbird was sideswiped by a passing vehicle while he and his wife, Elena, were at a Rocky Point restaurant with another couple.

Emery was so enraged he mistakenly chased down the wrong car, (Analysis conducted by the State Police using paint chips from both vehicles determined that someone else had hit Emery) and stabbed the driver, twenty-year-old Jason Bass,  to death with a military issued knife.

Emery was arrested and released on bail after spending 8 months in jail. He was offered a plea deal in exchange for lesser charges of Voluntary Manslaughter and a prison term of five to seven years, but he refused the deal insisting that the brutal stabbing death of Jason Bass was self-defense.

On November 10, 1993, Emery, still out on bail,  was convicted of second-degree murder, and was awaiting his sentencing when he and his wife disappeared.  A while later suicide notes mailed by the couple to the police were found as well as the car, which they abandoned on the massive Claiborne Pell Newport Bridge.

A year later,  Elena’s skull was found in the Narragansett Bay below the Newport Bridge.

Although legally declared dead, Emery has been spotted many times, mostly in Connecticut and Florida, enough ties in fact, that the FBI placed him on their most wanted list. The bureau states, emphatically, that they have no reason to believe that Emery is dead. Rather, the feds believe that he somehow fled the US to France and then to Italy where he has relatives.
